Many private businesses are closed today. But Keough's Hardware employees started shoveling at 6 am, so others could get their shovels.

"I have to shovel the snow to get my car back in," said Donath.

"Keough's, we always try to be here for the community," said Ray Barrett, general manager of the store. "We have a great team. They were all here early shoveling the walks and making sure people could get in when they got out of their own houses."

Employees at Keough's say they move about 10,000 to 20,000 pounds of ice melt per storm.

"The one that's most popular is our Safe Step brand. It's safe for concrete, asphalt, and it won't damage the lawn if it gets brushed into the lawn when the snow is gone," said Barrett, "And the best part is it's pet-friendly, so it doesn't harm their paws and irritate them"

Keough's Turn of River Hardware is located at 907 High Ridge Road in Stamford.
